Thailand protests

Despite rumors of dissent within Prayut Chan-o-cha's coalition, the military is poised to retain its privileged position in Thai politics.

The result was expected, but the former Thai general continues to struggle with a steep legitimacy deficit.

Despite COVID risks, protesters took to the streets of Thailand's capital once more to call for the prime minister's ouster and decry the government's pandemic response.

Simmering anti-government sentiment has been compounded by Prayut's failures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.

Demonstrators renewed their calls for charter reform and the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

If passed, the law will be used to target organizations deemed to threaten Thailand's entrenched political elite.

The move came as Prime Minister Prayut assumed sweeping new powers to fight the current outbreak of COVID-19.

According to the social media giant, the past year has seen more than 11 million Tweets featuring the #MilkTeaAlliance hashtag.

In Thailand, Myanmar, and Hong Kong, Asia’s brave youth go toe-to-toe with history.

After a period of hiatus, and amid a concerted legal offensive, the student-led protests are beginning to revive.

The announcement follows the arrest of nearly 400 people in connection to the ongoing pro-democracy protest movement.
